how to disable the ODBC connection wizard


I use ADO connectionstring to MariaDB in dBase and when the connection is unsuccessful (invalid userid, pwd, port number, IP address, databasename or if the server is not running), I get the MariaDB datasource connector wizard. Once I cancel or complete the wizard (both successfully or unsuccessfully), I get the ADO error into dBase.

Is there a way to disable this wizard and just return the error?


Solution

  • For anyone interested, adding 16 (for NO_PROMPT) to the "option" part of the connectionstring disables the popup.
